Wayne Case, President and CEO of Schmitt Industries, said: “This was the fourth consecutive quarter that we produced sales volumes significantly in excess of those reported in the same periods in the prior fiscal year. We have experienced sales increases in both the Balancer and Measurement segments. It is also important to note that with the increasing sales our gross profit percentages have also improved as well.

The economic conditions in our target markets have been improving over the past several months and we believe these improved conditions can continue in the coming months as we are seeing sustained demand for our products. However, there can be no assurance those conditions will continue into the future and if so for how long.”
